Does a hotfix require downtime?
-
no, when a hotfix goes live it will take the player to the Destiny logo screen and it will automatically check for updates and then download, normally hotfixes are small files so it wont take long to download, there shouldnt be any downtime related to hotfixes or any update infact, only time there should be downtime is if the servers are down for maintenance or the server is suffering from issues
-
Only briefly unless something goes wrong, but all content including updates and hotfixs need approval before they can be released. That doesn't mean we will get any warning though, I'd imagine they will drop it as soon as it gets the green light but as an educated guess I'd say Thursday/Friday.

Educated guess seeing bungies history with destiny. Tuesdays - hotfixes Wednesdays - updates
